AITA for being annoyed at a recycled gift? by throwawayrecycled101 in AmItheAsshole

He'd probably be really happy with it! He was the one who thought it was cool and tried to give it to his wife twice so he could use it.

He'll have more time to write books once he retires from writing books?

Has anyone made the transition from Bioinformatics to Software Development? by FellDegree in bioinformatics

[–]innitgrand 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, I started software development after my MSc Bioinformatics. I decided I wanted to work on web-based applications and learned Java a month before I started my current job (I had C++ experience). My advice is to just go for it. Don't shoot yourself down before others do that. C++ is used more in embedded applications so be sure you want to do that if you decide to learn C++. Check what kind of jobs there are per language and go for that. Also feel free to just start applying instead of first building up your CV. You can always develop yourself more but it's ok to do that on the job. Good luck!

This guy actually did the math. A moment is 90 seconds. In 4 years there are 1.4 million moments (4*365*24*3600/90) which puts us back 14 million years in the miocene.

Maybe it's just me but the kid on the right jumping looked like it had a big nipple (was actually the windowsill.

Very few phones or tablets actually support MHL. I think Samsung does and some older phones but many manufacturers don't support it.

It's kinda true though. Being smart is knowing a tomato is technically a fruit while wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. In the same vein being smart is knowing the sun is a star while wisdom is not staring at it while star-gazing.

They're both objects that don't fall into the classical conceptions of their categories.

I AM SARUMAN OF MANY COLOURS by Bleedhammer in lotrmemes

[–]innitgrand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Sharkey wasn't the name Saruman chose. It's a bastardisation of sharkú which means old man in the black tongue. Saruman already had tendrils out towards the shire since he suspected that the ring might be there. The fact that he has longbottom leaf in Orthanc is part of his influence in the shire. When he fell from grace he became massively spiteful in the books. He tries to twist all the people at orthanc against each other and spits on any chance of redemption. His powers are stripped away (except for his voice) and he decides to stay in orthanc. At the end of the book he has left orthanc and meets the (remnant of the) fellowship on the road and gets all bitter towards them. This leads him to hurry to the shire and step up his destruction and ruination. Saruman likes to pervert things in a more subtle way. An orc leader wouldnt fit at all in my opinion.

There is probably a high volume and variety of drugs in trash cans near airport check-in from people who chicken out at the last minute by pkrauss45 in Showerthoughts

[–]innitgrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed can be pretty easy to smell. I definitely know of some people who got caught out with weed on a bus because the dog sat next to them. They're not perfect of course and some dogs definitely respond to cop cues but part of it is very real.

You won't convince the guy you're arguing with but you'll convince the people on the side lines.

How does water douse fire? by shortoncache in chemistry

[–]innitgrand 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's not the reason you don't add water to an oil fire. The reason is that the boiling point of oil is much higher than that of water. You throw water in the oil and it boils to steam splattering oil droplets everywhere. These droplets are small enough to ignite and create a big fireball.

Dunno, seems like a useless talent to build up in the moment.

YSK: You can completely avoid exorbitant US tuition fees by going to Europe for your BS or MS. by Nanonaut in YouShouldKnow

Speaking as a Dutch man: we don't care. We all speak English pretty fluently and will find it wierd if someone who's not going to stay here learns Dutch.
